Product Description

Review
"'Yes, yes, yes, travel is the new sex, food photography is nineties porn and now look where it's all ended: all together in a book called World Food Cafe by Chris and Carolyn Caldicott' LONDON EVENING STANDARD 'Some people are too talented by half. Take Chris Caldicott. Not only is he co-owner of the World Food Cafe, but his stunning travel photographs illustrate much of this book.' TIME OUT"

Product Description
Intrepid travellers Chris and Carolyn Caldicott own and run the World Food Café in London's Covent Garden. In this cookbook they bring together vegetarian recipes from around the world, travellers' tales that describe how the recipes were discovered, and Chris's travel photographs. Food photographer James Merrell contributes photographs of the recipes. The book features dishes adapted from recipes gathered in the Middle East and Africa; India, Nepal and Sri Lanka; Southeast Asia and China; and Latin America. Each section begins with an introduction to the food of the region - the ingredients, the customs, and the ways in which they are cooked. A selection of recipes follows, with suggestions for variations, advice on how to combine dishes in menus and, often, the story behind the recipe.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight to the eye and tum., 14 May 2003
By Mr. Paul S. Bird "dagadadagada" - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Whilst I am not a vegetarian, I do like my food to taste as good as it can. Nestled snugly above Neal's Yard, near Covent Garden in London, is the small and friendly World Food Cafe. After first attending their mighty benches on a whim, I discovered the tasty treats that lurked within were good. Many more visits were made to the Cafe, and many chums were also converted. The food was always great - the menu is a shapeshifting entity, changing from visit to visit depending on what is cooking, making each meal a voyage of discovery. I've yet to discover something there that didn't go down with contented slurps.

So, overjoyed was I when I noticed this book. Simply put, this publication is a must-have. Every recipe is exciting, every page covered with wonderful photography or anecdotes. All the meals are fairly simple to cook, although some require a little preparation. Some may be daunted by the long list of ingredients, but do please note that many of these are, in fact, spices and so-on. Once you've stocked your cupboard up, you will giggle like a happy baboon as your dearest chums swoon at your culinary genius. For us in the UK, most of the items will be fairly easy to track down in your local Supermarket - having said that, one or two may require searching for Asian shops.

I do like this book - I know not everyone will like it quite as much due to the emphasis on the more spicey end of the market. For those with tastebuds that work, though, this is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring and delicious - brings back memories of my own travels and the desire for new ones!, 15 Feb 2007
I absolutley love this book - so much that I keep giving it as a gift and reccomending it to friends over and over again. I've travelled through many of the countries in the book and the writers tales of how they came across each dish really bring back memories of my own adventures and the desire for new ones! It's essentially a culinary travelogue. Also fantastic are their vegetarian adaptions of classically meat dishes which I was unable to try on my travels as I'm vegetarian but can now attempt at home. The photographs of the locations and the food are inspiring and the recipes easy to follow. I've used the book for casual meals and dinner parties alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Lovely vegetarian world-view, 23 Jan 2007
By Lilyfae (London) - See all my reviews
  
This review is from: World Food Cafe: v. 2: Easy Vegetarian Recipes from Around the Globe (Hardcover)
I purchased this book on a whim but it proved to be a good one. This book is a blend of travel, food and social commentary as we hear tales of how they got to places and the people they met there. Just looking at the pages can give some escapism from the dreary British weather!

I liked the way that the authors tackled locations that are not already plundered for recipes, instead looking for new recipes and how different people in exotic locations eat good wholesome food that is largely accessable by us back here.
It was interesting especially to read the Caribbean section which although they admitted was largely a meat-eating cuisine, they could still find vegetarian dishes or ways to easily replace the meat in the local recipes.

I have to say that some (not all) of the recipes are more dinner-party/'feeling special and brave' choices, and that I was disappointed that the recipes have a standard serving of 6, which although good for a wholly vegetarian big family or dinner party, it really means maths or leftovers for me as I live in a veggie-hostile environment!!!

That said, the recipes are delicious, exciting and the authors refuse to rely on one cooking method or ingredient as I have seen in lesser books, wholly worth it even if it is for when I feel brave in the kitchen!!!
